The lynching of Black individuals in the South was a horrific and brutal manifestation of racial violence and systemic racism, primarily occurring from the late 19th century into the early 20th century. These acts of mob violence were often justified by false accusations of crimes, particularly against white individuals, and served to enforce white supremacy and social control. Lynching was not only a means of punishment but also a public spectacle, instilling fear within Black communities. This dark chapter in American history highlights the deep-seated racial tensions and injustices that continue to impact society today.
